Welcome

An aerial view of Stanley, capital of the Falkland Islands, and its harbour. Just above centre are “The Narrows”, leading to the outer harbour, Port William (top left). The Government House complex is near bottom centre, with a long diagonal driveway; above and to the right of that is the Stanley Community School complex. The buildings with the blue roof are the hospital. Stanley was founded in 1845 and is the oldest town in the world so far south.Photo: Copyright Norman Clark Photography, Stanley

Since the 1960s Falkland Islanders have faced concerted efforts by Argentina to promote its claim to the Falkland Islands – efforts which culminated in the Argentine invasion in 1982. The Argentine claim is based on serious historical falsehoods and crucial omissions, which are exposed and corrected on this website.
